Ash wood and lead on Portland limestone, 47 cm × 39 cm × 10 cm.
The dimensions include the base, which is attached. Dimensions of the base: 8 H x 10 cm diameter
Unique work delivered with a certificate of authenticity.
This ash wood and lead sculpture rests on a Portland limestone plinth. Its playful form and its title confer a humorous meaning to the creation. The lead is poured into holes made by the sculptor in the wood and then polished.
The curved forms of this wooden sculpture give this work an organic aspect; its textures become smooth and sensual under the artist's hand, to the point of inciting a desire for the observer to touch and caress it. This tactile reaction has been sought out by the sculptor, who states: "If sculpture isn't touched, I believe that it is only half understood - it is only when a piece is handled that some of the more subtle undertones are revealed."

Peter Brooke-Ball
Peter Brooke-Ball’s abstract sculptures surprise with their humour, simplicity and sensuality. His work actively connects and compels the coexistence of dissimilar materials (primarily stone and rope), that are attached, suspended, surrounded, covered or tied to each other. The contrasting, evocative aesthetic elements of the artworks contribute to them being highly enigmatic, sometimes troubling and disturbing, sometimes amusing and playful. Peter Brooke-Ball’s work was featured in a BBC documentary in 2016. The artist is a member of the Royal Society of Sculptors (MRSS), an English organisation that promotes excellence in sculpture. “My overriding passion is purity and simplicity. I strip away superfluous marks and decoration to express simple, honest ideas. What’s left can be a little scary but that is part of the purpose – to unsettle the viewer.”

- "CUBE, PYRAMID & SPHERE", sculpture, clay, abstract, geometric, installationBy Harold WortsmanLocated in Toronto, OntarioCUBE, PYRAMID & SPHERE is a major work created over a five-year period. It is a variable installation, composed of 4 geometric sculptures of high-fired clay pigmented with oxides, a block of wood found in the ocean, river gravel, limestone, and slate shattered to fragments. Note the surface textures, the ground of natural stone, the colors black, umber, copper and tan throughout, the pattern of slate fragments. CUBE, PYRAMID & SPHERE is characteristic of Wortman's practice – warm, contemporary, uniquely crafted, yet speaks to ancient, primitive traditions of art-making that cross cultures and histories. Highly attuned to the art of Africa, the Middle East, India and Asia, his forms are organic abstracts with masculine and feminine attributes that resonate together as a pleasing enigma. They make sense immediately, yet never give up all their secrets. CUBE, PYRAMID & SPHERE was exhibited at BASE: Immersive Art Experiences, Industry City, Brooklyn, NY, 2017. It was also reproduced in Tussle Magazine, alongside "An Interview with Harold Wortsman...Category
